Glossary of Neutral Spanish – Part 3
December 2nd, 2009 by michellebThere are many variants in the Spanish language and one is not better than the other. In some fields, such the movie industry, it would be recommendable to reach some sort of agreement regarding the most common used words (all those in the Dictionary of the Spanish Language of the Royal Spanish Academy). That was the idea behind this Neutral Spanish Glossary.
This third part of the glossary (just one more left) is a continuation of my previous posts. Below are words from letter F to P.
